Rosie's Random Ramblings

Rosie's the name, rambling's the game, and hey, at least when it's cyber-rambling you can control the speed at which you get the information.

It's funny...

... that now that I'm on holiday and have lots and lots of time up my sleeve I never blog. Hmmm. Actually, the last two weeks have been pretty weird, coz I've been rather sick and haven't really done much. I tidied my room on Wednesday, and that was very exciting... found a book I got for my birthday back in August and ended up giving a sermon on it last night. I spoke at Volley last night - so did my first ever spot of preaching. It's also funny that I had it all planned out for weeks and then at the last minute realised that what I'd planned was pretty irrelevant and I should completely start over. So Thursday night I looked at the bookshelf, and found the book and remembered how cool and challenging it was and that's what I spoke on. It's called "Under the Overpass" by a guy named Mike Yankoski -> go here for more info http://www.undertheoverpass.com very, very cool book.
Oh, and yesterday I fell over and hurt my knee. It's pretty much just a graze, but it's quite painful and bruised and still slightly bleeding and it's frankly rather disgusting. I slipped on a manhole cover on the footpath because I am a complete and utter klutz. I was actually supposed to be going to a party tonight, but I'm not going coz I hurt. Hmmf. Never mind, though - I randomly had tonight off work anyway before I got invited to the party and since I have the night off, my friend Lauren's coming over to watch a movie with me. I think my brother and his girlfriend will be around, as will our exchange student and her boyfriend. Lauren and I are representing singleness! I actually feel like having a nice quiet night at home - and Dad took pity on me and bought TimTams. Which is very generous of him because he can't eat gluten anymore so he isn't allowed TimTams! (I hid them in my wardrobe so Stuart and Julia won't eat them!)


Hmm. I should be jetting. Things to do and whatnot.
Adios,
Rosie

Whoa

It really has been awhile since I blogged. Yikes.

Well, I've finished university for the year. I had my last exam on Friday last week and it went pretty well, all things considered. I hadn't really slept too well during the week, so I was reasonably happy with how it went. Actually, it was quite a good exam. The week before we had a gazillion things due, and I didn't sleep much during that week, either. So glad that everthings over. Now what I need to do is get myself a job. I had an interview yesterday and that went well, so hopefully I'll hear back soon. It's for a marketing company - selling stuff. And whatnot. I suppose we'll see how it goes - I would really like to stay away from anything involving food this summer. Much as I love food, you get sick of it when you're always working with it. Trust me, I have vast experience with Chinese food. Sweet and sour fumes could probably take out a small country.

Had an adventure yesterday. I was walking down the street and this guy grabbed my arm and asked if he could cut my hair. His hair model had cancelled on him at the last minute. I figured I had nothing better to do (I was just kind of wandering in town) so I agreed. So now I have a rather nice new haircut. It's a bob, and it's shorter at the back than the front... hard to explain. Very entertaining to see people cut my hair and discuss angles and whatnot. I never realised hairdressing was so technical. It was actually fun. A free haircut that I actually like, and I've possibly found myself a decent hairdresser. I do need to get a hair straightener if I want the style to sit how it did after the guy did it. I'd better start saving.

Anyway, aside from that not much is happening. Better jet.

Catch you!
